(...) I'm eager for mine to arrive, too! I think the axle fitting is important. If you want to add coupling rods between wheels, you MUST have opposite wheels turning together on an axle, you MUST have at least two pairs of wheels like this, and you (...) (21 years ago, 16-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Ok, Dave is right, this is fun! So, I added the axle joiner and this is what it looks like now: (URL) Moving the housing back allowed the signal arm to be simplified. Since the housing was moved back, there's now more clearance (about 1/2 stud (...) (21 years ago, 16-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Recently I've been working with this part: (URL) felt that it could be useful in creating some nice looking freight rolling stock. I believe I was right.
